Chapter 369 Negotiation

Shang Haozhi got busy immediately after receiving the reply.

He temporarily put other things aside and concentrated on sorting out the materials of "Smelting Steel".

The first four episodes, the character design and the setting of "Steel Refining" are all well prepared.

In addition, Wang Wenhong also lived in Shen Xin's studio again, and learned the outline of the story of "Smelting Steel" in the shortest possible time.

"Soul of Chess" was serialized simultaneously on "Youth Leap", and it had already created many records at that time. If "Steel Refining" can be serialized simultaneously in the 11 districts, it will also be a booster for the initially sluggish "ComicFuture".

Shen Xin also knows the pros and cons of it. Now that the manga has not been serialized, the only thing Shen Xin can do is the setting and the follow-up plot, but he certainly can't tell the whole story behind it. The part where the brothers and the master meet is equivalent to passing through the early stage of the story.

Afterwards, he listed the main settings and comic backgrounds one by one. It took Wang Wenhong a whole day to sort out the settings and backgrounds.

After watching it, Wang Wenhong was even more amazed at the setting of "Smelting Steel".

It is very difficult for a comic to justify itself, but the setting of "Steel Refining" is not only self-explanatory, but also self-contained, which means that derivatives of "Steel Refining" will also have a certain market.

It took Wang Wenhong another day to sort out all the materials that could be used, and then flew to District 11 with Shang Haozhi and the translator.

Before leaving, Shen Xin warned again: "Don't forget the two conditions I mentioned to Mr. Shang. First, the length of this comic is up to me; second, if I make an animation, I have a condition Choose a production team or a production company. This is the prerequisite for me to sign with you."

Wang Wenhong felt cold behind his back. Recently, he was so busy that he even forgot that Shen Xin hadn't signed a contract with the magazine yet.

"Cough...I see."

Wang Wenhong took a deep breath.

"But what if Shonen Leap rejects that offer?"

"Then... you monk always have two choices. 1. Change to another magazine; 2. Give up the market in District 11." Shen Xin said seriously.

Not to mention whether he can create an original plot based on the original work, even if he can, he doesn't want to do it.

The length of a work is closely related to its setting and background. If the limit is exceeded, no matter what work, it will definitely collapse.

Shen Xin doesn't want such a hallowed manga like "Smelting Steel" to collapse because of these messy reasons, so he must stick to his own opinion.

As for animation, it is even more impossible to just find a company to do it.

On Earth, "Steel Refining FA" is a work with zero negative reviews. In this world, he must do his best as much as possible.

Wang Wenhong nodded, "I will pass it on to Editor-in-Chief Shang."

After hearing Wang Wenhong's message, Shang Haozhi also scratched his head, "All right, listen to him."

If it can be negotiated, that would be the best. If not, consider it a trip.

Seeing Shang Haozhi's expression, Wang Wenhong felt chills in his heart. It seems that the editor-in-chief had already thought of a bad situation.

After arriving in the 11th district, the three people (including the translator) first found a hotel in Tokyo to stay, put their luggage away, and then contacted Murakami.

It was finally determined that at 10 am the next day, I went to the headquarters of "Young Leap" to negotiate.

The three of them fell asleep early, and the next day, after breakfast, they took a taxi with their briefcases and headed to the editorial department of "Young Leap".

The magazine office of "Shounen Leap" has a total of five floors. Among them, "Shounen Leap" is on the 20th floor, and the four floors above are its sibling magazines.

Registered at the front desk on the 20th floor. The staff at the front desk called the editorial department, and then said to the three people: "Wait a minute, someone will come out to pick you up."

The three stood at the front desk, looking around boredly.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not too long, only about a minute,

Murakami walked out first, followed by two middle-aged men, who should be the staff of the magazine.

When Murakami saw Shang Haozhi, he shook hands cordially.

The last time Murakami came to China, Shang Haozhi, on behalf of "ComicFuture" and Yishu Culture, entertained Murakami well. Aside from official duties, the two still have some personal friendships.

Afterwards, Murakami introduced the two people behind him to Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong, one named Otani China and the other named Yasuda Zhi.

"The deputy editor-in-chief and another team leader are still outside, and they will be back in about ten minutes—how about we go to the meeting room first?"

After listening to the translation, Shang Haozhi and Wang Wenhong nodded.

The guest is up to the owner.

Now that you're in someone else's territory, follow the master's arrangement.

The meeting room of "Young Leap" is relatively ordinary, not too big, and can probably seat more than 20 people.

Wenge wood oval table, matched with black leather chairs, is a very common meeting room. Although it is not very luxurious, it does not make people feel too nervous.

"The president is in a meeting, so I can only wrong you to come here." Murakami apologized.

"It's okay. These are not important. We are here to discuss cooperation, not to pick a conference room." Shang Haozhi didn't care too much.

After hearing the translation, Murakami guessed that Shang Haozhi wanted to get straight to the point, so he nodded slightly.

"First of all, after watching the first episode, I, the deputy editor-in-chief and the team leader had some disagreements. It wasn't me. Although "Soul of Chess" sold well in the 11th district, Mr. Shen also has extremely high strength. However, It is difficult for us to distinguish the future of the manga from just one episode. Our differences are mainly in the development of the plot. Then we discussed the possible plots. Therefore, we are now very curious about how Mr. Shen will choose.”

Murakami rubbed his hands, and his eyes fell on Shang Haozhi's briefcase.

"Well, I'm glad you like it. For this cooperation, Mr. Shen deliberately sorted out the settings so that everyone can understand the whole comic. At the same time, we also provided the first four chapters and the outline of the follow-up."

When Xiaogu heard the translation mention "setting", his eyes immediately brightened.

What he is most optimistic about is the setting of "Smelting Steel". After all, the comics he saw before are completely different from this setting.

Murakami is most concerned about the plot of "Smelting Steel". No matter how brilliant the setting is, it needs the plot to reflect it.

So, after Shang Haozhi took out the file from the briefcase, Murakami and Kotani got the outline and the setting alone, and only Yasuda Zhizhi had his hands empty. In the end, he had to ask for "" The characters of "Steel Refining".

The three of them lowered their heads, and everyone's eyes changed from being serious at the beginning to being focused. They didn't even know that the door was pushed open by the conference room door.
