Chapter 270 Explanation

Wang Wenhong blinked his eyes with doubts on his face.

"When a popular character disappears, some readers will definitely abandon the book, isn't that true?"

"That's right." Shen Xin nodded.

In fact, "Soul of Chess" drawn by Takeshi Obata was indeed affected by the disappearance of Zuowei, and its popularity declined.

"If popular characters don't disappear, won't this part of readers be lost?" Wang Wenhong asked.

"That's right. Well... no wonder you and the editor-in-chief have this opinion, because you have never created comics." Shen Xin sighed, "Brother Wang, have you ever thought about what will happen if Zuo Wei doesn't disappear? "

"Zuowei and Xiaoguang are fighting in the professional arena together. Moreover, with Zuowei's help, Xiaoguang may even win a title or two."

"Yes, if it's an ordinary comic, you can indeed do this. But the comic "Soul of Chess" cannot be drawn too long." Shen Xin sighed.

"Why?" Wang Wenhong asked puzzled.

"It's complicated to say, but to put it simply, because the story of "Soul of Chess" is a realistic type, all games, chess games, buildings, and rules are well documented.

"Mr. Xie may still be able to control the low-level Go games, but if the long story is all about title fights, this is really embarrassing for Mr. Xie. If even the consultants are uncertain about some content, they may even be judged by professional players. I can't write a pen even if I pick a thorn."

"But, don't you still have Mr. Xie? He is nine-dan, so he must be very familiar with Go-related content."

"Grandpa Xie will help sooner or later, maybe it's okay, but can he be like Xie Shiqi, and continue to serve as a consultant for "Soul of Chess"? Doesn't he need to take care of the dojo?"

Besides, "Soul of Chess" will end at the Beidou Cup, and he doesn't want to add another thing.

Wang Wenhong was dumbfounded. Indeed, it is impossible for a high-level chess player to serve as a consultant for a comic for several years. Moreover, compared to the income of the dojo or the bonus of the competition, the consultant fee is almost negligible.

"This is in terms of length. From the creator's point of view, if Zuo Wei does not disappear, the relationship between him and Xiaoguang will be difficult to deal with. The current Xiaoguang is not a novice who knows little about Go, but Relying on his own strength, he defeated Hong Xiuying's college student and future professional chess player.

"Originally, Go is the bond between Xiaoguang and Zuowei. Because of Go, the two need each other. But as Xiaoguang can gradually play chess independently and at the same time experience the joy of playing chess, the relationship between him and Zuowei The fetters gradually weakened. Zuo Wei had to rely on Xiaoguang to play chess with others, but Xiaoguang also wanted to win against the opponent with his own strength.

"If Zuo Wei doesn't disappear, how will the relationship between the two be handled? Does Zuo Wei only play chess with Xiao Guang in the future? Or does Xiao Guang follow Zuo Wei's words and play against other chess players without his own opinion?"

"It's as good as it is now. It's this kind of relationship between a teacher and a friend." Wang Wenhong quickly explained.

"Is it like now? Brother Wang, haven't you noticed yet? Compared with the beginning of "Soul of Chess", Zuo Wei's sense of presence has gradually weakened recently." Shen Xin said.

Wang Wenhong opened his mouth slightly. As the editor in charge of "Soul of Chess", he certainly knows about these changes, especially after the dojo exam, the scenes where Zuo Wei and Xiaoguang appear in the same grid at the same time are gradually decreasing.

"After the character grows up, new contradictions will appear. If it is not resolved, it may affect the plot behind the manga. Brother Wang, in the manga, the appearance of each character is meaningful. Instead of letting Zuo Wei's existence The feeling is getting weaker and gradually ignored by the readers. Instead, I hope that he can be remembered by the readers and exist in the hearts of the readers, even for a few years... More than ten years later, when people mention "Soul of Chess", the first thing that comes to mind is Zuo Wei .”

Wang Wenhong sighed, "I just feel that it's a pity...the grades are so good."

"The length of the manga is enough to finish the story." Shen Xin stretched her waist, "There is no need to continue underwater."

"Since you have made such a decision, I understand. I will explain to the editor-in-chief." Wang Wenhong took it.

"You must not explain."

Shen Xin quickly waved her hands. The last time Yan Fei had direct contact with Song Ren, she was hated by Song Ren. He didn't want Wang Wenhong to follow the same path.

"If the editor-in-chief has any questions, I will explain to the editor-in-chief myself." Shen Xin said.

"Are you okay? Don't learn from last time. If you can't say a few words well, just get angry." Wang Wenhong still remembers that Weibo post by Shen Xin, and he feels a little embarrassed.

"Comicfuture" is not a small magazine like "Newworld". If Shen Xin and Shang Haozhi get into a fight, it will be a very bad result for both parties.

"I've experienced so many things, I've matured a long time ago." Shen Xin grinned.

"It's good that you can think clearly." Wang Wenhong said.

After playing against Hong Xiuying, "Soul of Chess" entered the fixed stage match.

The preliminaries in the fixed-stage competition belong to the added space, Shen Xin only added three chapters, the reason is that there will be a main competition later, and that is the main event.

If the foreplay is too long, it will make this part of the plot look lengthy, and it also goes against the concise style of the whole comic. At the same time, readers will feel very tired if the plot is too long, and it will not be easy for readers to mobilize their emotions in the later stage of the fixed stage.

After thinking twice, Shen Xin still decided to follow the rhythm of "Soul of Chess" and create this part of the plot.

After the next issue of the small book, "Soul of Chess" still maintains the first place, but the gap with "Hunting Abyss" and "Legend of the Dragon King" has obviously narrowed.

Although the fixed-stage match is a plot that readers have been looking forward to for a long time, it takes a period of time to brew from the beginning of the fixed-stage match to the final climax. Therefore, it is normal that the votes of "Soul of Chess" will decline.

In contrast, Shang Haozhi cares more about the character popularity vote of "Soul of Chess".

On the day the statistical results came out, they were sent to his mailbox by email.

Shang Haozhi clicked on the email, took a quick glance, got up immediately, picked up the briefcase, and said to Wang Wenhong who was working: "Xiao Wang, come with me!"

Wang Wenhong made a smart move, even though Shang Haozhi only said five words, his heart seemed to be pinched severely.

Hu Ke, who was sitting opposite, kicked Wang Wenhong secretly, and blinked at him, "If something really happens, you must persuade Teacher Shen."

advise? What advice do you give?

Wang Wenhong has a bag on his head.

Others can't persuade Shen Xin about what he believes. In comparison, it is more reliable to persuade Shang Haozhi.

However, having said that, even when Shang Haozhi and Shen Xin discussed issues, he couldn't get in the way.

He's just a soy saucer.

Wang Wenhong sighed, and followed Shang Haozhi out of the editorial office.
