Chapter 282 Wait and See

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! In the editorial department of "Youth Leap", the editors are also discussing the comic "Soul of Chess".

As the team leader, Xiaogu actually didn't like "Soul of Chess" when he heard "Soul of Chess" for the first time.

A Go comic is neither luminous nor distinctive, and even the only golden finger assistant is in most cases put on the shelf by cartoonists.

Will such comics have a selling point?

It's simply not possible.

Shonen Leap already had Slam Dunk and didn't need a similar sports comic.

This was Xiaogu's original idea, even when "Soul of Chess" started to be serialized simultaneously, he didn't intend to think about it.

But as the ranking of "Soul of Chess" in "Youth Leap" continued to rise, and it was vaguely surpassing "Slam Dunk", he had to re-examine this comic and find "Soul of Chess" again.

If he was a regular reader, maybe he wouldn't have opened the manga at all.

Readers have personal preferences, and comics that seem boring to others may seem like masterpieces to him. vice versa.

Reading is random, and it can happen to anyone.

However, as a manga editor, he must take the manga with good grades seriously, even if he doesn't like it, he must dig out the advantages of the manga, because it is very likely that the next manga artist may use the manga he summed up. experience.

After reading "Soul of Chess" carefully from the beginning, Xiaogu was out of control.

He read each chapter of "Soul of Chess" four or five times, from the storyboard to the structure of the story, to the painting skills, and studied them one by one.

Repeated reading of "Soul of Chess" also transformed him from a person who initially rejected "Soul of Chess" to a staunch supporter of this comic.

Through studying, he also found that even if he found the advantages of "Soul of Chess", it would be difficult for others to learn.

The reason is that the personality of this comic is too distinct, and it also tests the drawing skills of the extreme cartoonist.

In the first few episodes, Shen Zheng's painting style was still a little immature, but now it is quite mature. Placed in District 11, it really takes a lot of effort to find a cartoonist with better drawing skills than him.

The more critical point is the rhythm of the manga. It is obviously an intelligence-based Go manga, but "Soul of Go" has the same passion as "Slam Dunk", and the touch that "Slam Dunk" does not have.

"Oh, it's amazing. If "Soul of Chess" was a comic serialized in our magazine, it would probably be even better than it is now."

"Actually, the current performance of "Soul of Chess" is already exaggerated. At present, the ratings of the animation have reached 68, and it will soon catch up with "Slam Dunk" with 70. Not to mention the sales of the booklet, it is almost the same as the introduction of "Youth Leap". Since Huaxia comics, it has the best sales volume. What is even more exaggerated is the small book, and now "Soul of Chess" often competes with "Slam Dunk" for the third place. Shi? g, Mr. Yuchuan must be having a headache now, right?" an editor asked.

"I also hope he has a headache!" Shi Cheng sighed and smiled bitterly, "Even if he feels a little nervous. But unfortunately, every issue of the magazine is published, he will read "Soul of Chess" as soon as possible, which is better than me. Still positive."

"It's no wonder, after all, even we are optimistic about this comic, let alone Mr. Yuchuan? Fortunately, the current situation of "Slam Dunk" is also good, and he doesn't need to be nervous about "Soul of Chess."

"No, you guys don't understand." Shi?g shook his head, "He is also studying this manga while reading "Soul of Chess."

"Hey, this kind of thinking is very dangerous..." Xiaogu quickly reminded after hearing what Shi? Imitation, it is very likely... No, it will definitely be a mistake, "Slam Dunk" may even collapse, Shi? G, you must remind Teacher Yuchuan."

"I mentioned that, in fact, Teacher Yuchuan has been doing this for a while. Moreover, I really have no way to refute what Teacher Yuchuan said.

"Shi?g puffed his cheeks, obviously losing his temper.

"What did he say?" Xiaogu asked curiously.

"Take this sentence as an example. From the first page, and even to the end of the last page, there is nothing too much. The first half is from Ochi's first perspective, describing what he saw and heard in the examination room, and then Ochi invited Xiaoliang to come over. , to carry out training for small light.

"How about it? It's a very simple plot, right? It's so simple that any manga artist can think of it, but have you found out? After reading this chapter, do you have a sense of expectation in your heart? Looking forward to the confrontation between Xiaoguang and Ochi , and at the same time expect Xiaoguang to be recognized by Xiaoliang?"

Obviously the story has been told, but readers are looking forward to the final plot even more.

What will be the outcome of the game between Xiaoguang and Ochi? Can Xiaoguang finally become a professional Go player?

These doubts are what readers who have read "Soul of Chess" are concerned about.

"What Mr. Yuchuan admires most about Mr. Shen is that this seemingly ordinary plot arouses readers' emotions. These are the original words of Mr. Yuchuan."

The editors had already read the content of "Soul of Chess" by heart, and they couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard Shi Cheng's words.

"Yokai, what do you think?" Kotani turned his attention to Yokoi again, "After all, you are also the editor in charge of "Soul of Chess."

"Me?" Yokoi was sweating profusely.

What are you responsible for? At most, they interviewed the chess players in the 11th district, or took a few photos of the chess academy, without any decent opinions at all.

Every time he thinks of this, Yokoi feels a sense of frustration, but there are no major problems with the structure of "Soul of Go", and, as the story progresses and the manga gets better, he is even less able to intervene.

"I... think from an editor's point of view, Mr. Shen successfully combined readers' expectations of Xiaoguang with Xiaoliang's expectations of Xiaoguang. Readers know Xiaoguang's strength, and Xiaoliang also knows , but Ochi didn’t know. Through the mouth of a high-level player, the words in the readers’ hearts were spoken, which resonated with the readers. This may be the reason why Teacher Shen can use common plots to mobilize the readers’ emotions.”

Shi?g opened his mouth slightly.

"That's right..." Xiaogu rubbed his chin, "This is indeed one of the reasons."

Toru Murakami crossed his fingers and put them on the table. Hearing so many people talking, he nodded slightly, but at the same time his eyes scanned a form on the computer screen.

Although judging from the small book of "Youth Leap", "Soul of Chess" and "Slam Dunk" have their own advantages and disadvantages, and even relying on their early advantages, "Slam Dunk" still has a certain advantage. On the Internet, since Yijiao and Xiaoguang had a duel, the popularity of "Soul of Chess" has steadily surpassed that of "Slam Dunk".

Murakami rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

He is also waiting to see how far Shen Xin and "Soul of Chess" can go, and whether there is a chance to have a deeper cooperation with Shen Xin.
